Resploot – Yellow Eyed Penguin

Resploot was founded in response to one of the most pressing problems we face today – plastic waste and its impact on our planet. It is clear that the way forward is to reduce plastic waste and recycle what we have accumulated so far. Resploot toys were created in 2019 with a unique solution to this problem. RESPLOOT toy range are made from recycled materials to keep plastic waste out of landfills and oceans. This ongoing effort to reduce PET bottle waste is based on a process that is designed to convert plastic waste into fabric. Resploot has partnered with the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) to take their efforts a step further and create awareness about endangered wildlife the world over.

Their range of Resploot dog toys is made as endangered penguins, rhinos and so on, to serve as a daily reminder that we are all interconnected and part of the same world. Part of the profits from Resploot toys is donated to the WWF to support their conservation efforts. So, when you purchase any of the recycled dog toys offered by Resploot, you are contributing to conserving life on this planet.

Yellow Eyed Penguins can only be found in New Zealand. Their forest/scrub habitat has declined in quality and the species has undergone extreme fluctuations in their numbers. This has been attributed to commercial gillnet fisheries, and food shortages due to changing sea temperatures that affect survival of the species.
